Chapter 623: Chapter 614: An Identity Too Big to Hide
What a great humiliation, how could he, a proud young man, let a woman ridicule him?
Besides, whatâs wrong with using his hand, is he supposed to chop it off? Itâs a manâs first love, after all.
That night, Su Qing exerted all his strength to barely suppress Shen Yi again.
Since then, Su Qing has been somewhat frightened, not expecting that Shen Yiâs power would increase so much after just a trip back home; could it be that she has missed this for a while?
But little did he know, it indeed had something to do with it. Given Shen Yiâs age, and the fact that sheâs a woman, plus her rechargeable disposition, although her fighting ability might not be that strong after not seeing each other for so long, her stamina was quickly catching up to his Fighting King level.
It truly gave Su Qing a scare; indeed, when it comes to lust, men are straightforward, but in terms of degree, women have the upper hand.
The next day, the two got up early, tidied up at home, and drove to the company.
Since Shen Yi left Jiang City at the end of last year, Su Qing hadnât been to the company even once. With President Shen absent, there was no need for him, the secretary, to be there; his presence made no difference.
After more than twenty days, the big boss Shen Yi finally returned to the company. Naturally, various department heads had a pile of matters to report. Shen Yi couldnât have been idle during this time,
In the Public Relations Department, Su Qing handed over Da Huang (the dog) to Zhao Lei, asking her to contact the client and quickly get Da Huang to work and earn money. Although Su Qing no longer needed its support, it had to earn its own dog food, right?
Of course, the main thing was to burn off Da Huangâs excessive energy; otherwise, what if it started tearing the house apart?
After all, it was a large breed. Although not as silly as others, its destructive power was not to be underestimated; itâs best to be cautious about this.
At the stairwell corner outside the Public Relations Department, Old Wang and Su Qing stood by the window, smoking.
"Brother, you really got it going on, investing in movies and making a fortune, getting rumored with President Tang, and now being seen righteously enforcing the law, catching bad guys in the street. You wouldnât believe it, quite a few people went to the Planning Department to get the scoop from Mumu," Old Wang said with a laugh.
As an old staffer from the headquarters in the capital, he naturally knew Tang Nan was a shareholder of the company, but he also knew this young manâs girlfriend was President Shen, so he wouldnât believe the online rumors, but he was curious.
Hearing this, Su Qing couldnât help but shake his head with a laugh, "Iâm surprised, brother, youâre in PR, yet you believe such clear rumors?"
"Of course not, but you canât stop others from believing. Honestly, why deliberately stir up a rumor with President Tang this time? Is it because she has a new project and needs some publicity?" Old Wang asked with curiosity.
He knew something about the relationship between President Shen and President Tang, so naturally, he wouldnât think President Shen would believe such news, maybe she even agreed to it herself.
Moreover, big figures donât act simply, theyâre always considering other factors, so itâs normal for subordinates to not understand.
"Brother, youâre truly imaginative, being in PR. It was deliberate indeed, but I canât tell you the reason, itâs a secret. By the way, howâs the company lately, is everything okay?"
He hadnât visited in a while and found some new faces in the company, and of course, some people were also missing.
When he came in, he glanced around roughly and saw the Planning Department had been split into two departments, led by Feng Yan and Cui Bo.
Cui Bo, with the three-person sidekick team, moved into the originally vacant office next door, and both departments recruited a few more people, with duties being further refined, a good sign for the company.
Su Qing hadnât seen the Finance or Human Resources departments, but the Business Department indeed had some new faces. Besides a few veterans, someone like Wang Xing, who had been there for a few months, was considered a semi-veteran now.
The Business Department, although high-paying, is unstable and highly competitive, leading to high employee turnover.
Some people work hard but donât achieve good results, enduring the same exhaustion but earning much less than others, naturally feeling unbalanced. After a year, they inevitably leave.
When some leave, others come. A small department is like a mini jianghu. Without significant changes in core personnel, the saying holds true: the company is solid, while employees come and go.
Even the Public Relations Department started recruiting, seeking only technical talents, people proficient in video editing, and hiring experienced professionals directly.
Zhao Lei, the little assistant, was one of the original team members; although she lacks technical skills, sheâs quite adept at running business deals, almost becoming Old Wangâs top assistant.
Indeed, accumulating experience pays off. Once a one-man-army, now she has her own team under her.
"Itâs alright, though a batch of people left after the New Year, a new batch also arrived, and considering last year was pretty good for us, with steady progress, the company is showing early signs of improvement. Even though there is still some way to go before profit, unlike the constant losses of last year!" Old Wang said.
Shen Yiâs branch in the South City had just opened for a year, expanding significantly, although it had some business, as a new company, naturally incurring significant losses.
Thanks to Shen Yiâs substantial family assets, otherwise, a common person might not withstand it, but fortunately, after a year of operation, although occasionally requiring subsidies from the headquarters, itâs mostly self-sufficient now.
Unexpectedly, this year might start generating profit for headquarters; when that happens, benefits for those who transferred from headquarters will naturally improve.
Otherwise, who would want to transfer from headquarters? All of it is for the sake of their future, though not Old Wang, he simply came for Feng Yan.
"Thatâs good. By the way, whatâs going on between you and Sister Feng?" Su Qing shifted the topic, asking with a grin.
Hearing this, Old Wangâs mouth nearly stretched to the back of his head.
"Great, just great, already met the parents. In a few days, my parents are coming over, they plan to finalize the engagement. As early as May Day, or as late as October 1st this year, we should be able to get married," Old Wang smiled broadly.
Clearly, he must have recently visited Feng Yanâs home as well, and the process went very smoothly.
"Wow, amazing, youâre really fast. Remember to give Da Huang a red packet and serve delicious dishes, itâs the matchmaker after all!"
About this, Su Qing was truly happy for the two, especially since both Feng Yan and Old Wang treated him well in the company, particularly Old Wang, who helped him quite a bit under Feng Yanâs guidance.
"Of course, just you wait, on my wedding day, Iâll set a separate table for Da Huang, it must have the Eight Big Bowls!"
The Eight Big Bowls is a highly ranked banquet meal, and if Da Huang gets to eat it, it could walk proudly among dogs.
Even police dogs might not get to enjoy such a banquet level, but Da Huang is the matchmaker for both.
President Shen returned to the company, bringing back a rising star within the company, naturally sparking discussions among all employees.
Even though Su Qingâs current role in the company was President Shenâs secretary, it couldnât hold down the gossip anymore.
Su Qingâs current identity is far from before. Before, even if he had followers, he was at most considered an internet celebrity, even after becoming a Stock God, he never showed his face in videos, so most of the company didnât know his identity, only people like Social Anarchist were aware.
But as he appeared more frequently online and his popularity soared, how could such a young billionaire just be President Shenâs secretary?
Even as a six-digit income-level internet celebrity, going solo would be better than being a secretary with someone managing you, so after appearing at the company with Shen Yi, employees started gossiping.
"Hey? Do you think Da Qing has that kind of relationship with President Shen?"
"Not sure, but Iâm 80% sure somethingâs going on!"
"Right, at least he isnât just a secretary. Being this wealthy, who would still work as a secretary? I reckon he must have another motive, someoneâs interested in President Shen!"
"Makes sense, talking about our President Shen, sheâs top-tier beauty, better than any stars on TV, it makes sense Da Qing would like her and be pursuing her!"
"Hey? Didnât the news say he was with Tang Nan, been dating for quite a while?"
"Nonsense, thatâs clearly a rumor, plus Nan already clarified itâs false, Su Qing also explained the South City incident days ago, Iâm still supporting QingYi CP!"
The majority involved in the discussions were female employees, most of them newcomers, who were more curious about Su Qing than Shen Yi.
The matter had caused an uproar these past couple of days, making it hard for them to ignore.
At noon, the Social Anarchist, Lin Miaomiao, Wang Xing, and Su Qing all gathered for lunch.
"Qingzi, why does your rumor spread wherever you go?" Wang Xing asked with a playful grin.
As a company employee, he naturally overheard some talks today.
Even though the relationship between Shen Yi and him wasnât public, they didnât hide it from Wang Xing. The duo of "Sleeping Dragon and Young Phoenix" werenât aware, but the Social Anarchistâs gossip radar was fully activated.
"I think they make a valid point, little Su brother, being this rich yet still being President Shenâs secretary, maybe youâre interested in President Shen!"
Lin Miaomiao focused on eating and enjoying the gossip.
[Your identity is already under suspicion, but Shen Yi will find a new role for you.]
Hearing this, Su Qing let out a breath, then said:
"No way, President Shen is... such a schemer, I was forced into this!"
